Well, obviously you're talking evil here, but I'm afraid I have to agree with you.

This one was just beyond egregious. Jaw droppingly horrendous. How in the world do they 'un-call' that penalty? The only possibly silver lining is that they appear to equally suck profusely on both sides of the ball.

That's what I was kind of thinking... maybe they saw the snow-capped Cascades in the distance and they felt like they were at 10,000 ft, and their bodies followed. I'm seriously hoping that this guy was trying to be funny.

Tell me that comment isn't real, or that the guy was joking. If I recall, Eugene sits at around a whopping 500-ish ft. I bet Urbana has a higher elevation than that.

Nahhh... I'm not buying that for a minute. If you look at the five games they played prior to Oregon, OSU throttled every one of them by an average margin of 39 points. And after losing to Oregon, they had a bye week. You know they had to have wanted to make a turnaround statement yesterday --- at home, no less. Nope... and as I said earlier, I'm afraid OBD, and OBD fans, simply 'broke' poor ol OSU.

Agreed, and I admittedly got frustrated late in the 3rd Q with our offensive play calling, and even substitutions. However, then I remembered that, calendar wise, we are likely not even halfway through what could/should be a very long season. Not only do we need to preserve our studs as much as possible, but what a luxury it is for us to be able to get many other guys some significant PT. It's also a luxury not to have to open up our entire playbook this early as well. And to get out studs some break time just before we head to Michigan is huge. Finally, I remembered that we no longer live in a CFB world that requires asinine 'style points.' So, 38-9 is more than enough. As hard as it is for me to admit, I'm coming to realize that Lanning & Co might just know a little bit more about this coaching stuff than I do... maybe.

David - Im thinking that the kid read your article . He averaged 8 ypc yesterday, and looked great doing it. However, I also think your observations are very spot on. And finally, that kid is one tough bugger!

Our defense has given up 9 points in the last two games.

Exactly. I dont like this kind of play at all.

Would it be greedy of me if I said that I'd like another TD before the half?

Okay... made me lol

6 minutes to go in the second quarter. 274 OBD Yards 51 Illinois That's just scary impressive.

Did anyone in their right mind ever think that we might be missing the PAC-12 refs? Holy cow, B1G.

And perhaps in coaching too

As long as it increases OBD chances of winning, I'm more than good with it!

And I thought the PAC-12 refs stunk.

Ducks are getting a lot of love on CBS right now.

I don't think I am. A Nebraska win at OSU win would obviously weaken our win over the Buckeyes.

Exactly. It definitely gives me cause for pause. And maybe the Ducks just broke them. All I know is that we seriously need OBD to again bring their A+ game today, along with our awesome fans.

And the refs

OSU 14-9 in the third? Wow... looks like our ducks really did a number on OSU's head. We may have broke them.

OBD 43-13 3 3 333

He is The Duck. And his name is Puddles.

Ryan Day Translation: "Oh please, oh please, don't fire me. I promise I can win a big game."

I wasn't there, but to this day I remember that win. That was a shocker.
